Well I am a freestyler. I thumb my nose to you.

We could share......

At least you don't bite your thumb at her.

I have finished my Opel Manta painting, but I have to keep it taped to the board until the morning at the very least, while the paint I sprinkled with salt to give a gravel-type effect takes the time to dry.

Then's the time to think about what my next art project might be...

interesting that the Salt method works on paintings as well: I've seen it used for rust effects on models, although I never used it myself.

Ooooh, now that would've been an insult...

Romeo and Juliet, I do believe...

Only with watercolour - you sprinkle it on wet (but not sopping wet) paint, and it lifts the pigment out, giving a speckled effect. Downside is it can take ages to dry...

Doors open at half 7 for an 8pm sitting.

Why did I only find out about this at just gone 10pm?

Ari Vatanen, 1989 or 1990 Paris - Dakar in a Peugeot 405T16. Use sandpaper as a base for added authenticity

What about the Budgie ?

They can create the dunes, although you may need more than one well fed budgie to get a good sized dune

Trebuchet it is, then... Want steamed veg (carrots, sprouts, green beans) with that?

Wasn't '89 or '90 the year his car got nicked?

If you haven't yet read it, I'd highly recommend Ari's autobiography.

Thanks for the offer, but it's too late. Sausages (Craskes Norfolk recipie from the CoOp), baby potatoes & peas were had earlier. Also I'm up for work in 7 hours so if you could arrange for a bowl of porridge to be flung in this direction for about 05:45 instead...

My cycling shoes still aren't dry and need a whole load of mud, gravel & deal leaves removing from the soles & cleats after traipsing around graveyards as part of today's ride. Good job I've got a spare pair or two.

Could always stash a portion in the freezer for another day...

I can also do croissants, if you like...
